Corden believes his own hype. One trick pony with Gavin & Stacey that soon nose-dived.I have a brilliant film with Timothy Spall about Albert Pierpoint and true enough, Corden is in it! Unfortunately NOT as an executed prisoner.

I don't like that advert where Ellie Goulding hits a punchbag. In it she is championing shampoo and with it states to the audience "Strong is beautiful."

But maybe that is where you are going wrong and why you look rather manly Ellie?!

Strong is not beautiful Ellie, femininity is beautiful.That's why you don't get thousands of men queueing up to see The Worlds Strongest Woman Competition, but they had to take Miss World off the tele because there were power shortages at the national grid whenever it was on.

Women aggressively hitting punch bags does not make them attractive. No matter what shampoo they use.

True fact: I didn't know who Ellie Goulding was until I began ranting about this advert at work.Then someone says 'You mean the one with Ellie Goulding?'

Know Your Pension advert with the busy kitchen.I could moan about her nail varnish but I won't.I could moan about the used cloth used to wipe the plate clean at the pass, but I won't.I could moan about a rubbish bin next to a prep table, but I won't.If one of my chefs threw an eggshell across the kitchen on a busy shift, we'd be having a one-way conversation.It's such a false and patronising advert.

There's one with a little woman on the kitchen top too helping the cook woman.I doubt she disinfected the soles of her shoes either.

EE advert with Kevin Bacon and Delia Smith.

I don't particualrly dislike this advert but it looks a bit strange to me. I am not convinced the two of them are ever actually in the same room together. In the shot of them from the back the Kevin Bacon figure looks like a double and they never really seem to interact directly.

I'm glad someone else has spotted this - as soon as I first saw it I could tell they'd been filmed separately as their eye lines are all wrong , when she's supposedly standing next to him if you follow the direction of her gaze she's looking at the back of his head lol

The advert I particularly like at the moment is the new Sky Sports football one - there's a scene where a black family of Southampton fans are pushing a sofa and running along the opposite kerb is a tall stocky guy in a Chelsea shirt who possesses a primal almost beast-like masculinity that I find captivating - I predict that man will go far (possible future Bond contender) ! ...

Yes you are quite right there is no genuine interaction between them, the one not speaking is often out of focus and there are a couple of shots that show one of the two of them looking like a double. Having said that it is very cleverly done, but once you have noticed it you can't miss it.

Had all the Forest Shirts been taken before this 'Chelsea fan' went into wardrobe?

Post by bodiesstuntdouble on Aug 21, 2018 20:01:46 GMT

Sadly yes ! They gave them to two French guys , but it turned out that there was a fiendish logic to the distribution of shirts and where we were placed in the line up - they lined us up in order of where "our" teams had finished that season - ie Man.City first, Man.Utd etc closest to camera. So as a temporary Chelsea fan for the day I did ok and got my ugly mug recognizably on screen haha :-).I worked on the stills shoot two weeks later and was Sheffield Wednesday in the morning and Fulham after lunch

Think how I feel, I'm Sheffield Wednesday all day long.Which has been a real chore watching their results so far this season.

Congratulations on your appearance. I can see you running along in the Chelsea shirt.

I didn't recognise the advert when you mentioned it but when I looked it up I realised I had seen it and I think it is quite a good little advert. It moves along at a fast pace and everytime I saw it I thought to myself that one of the men running alongside another sofa looked like Phil Thompson. Having looked closely at it I see it is Phil Thompson! I didn't know he was a pundit on Sky Sports, it's not a channel we have.

Post by bodiesstuntdouble on Aug 21, 2018 23:42:38 GMT

Thanks :-) All the guys featured running along with Phil Thompson (Paul Merson, Kris Kammara etc) are old pros - I saw Thompson at lunch and half considered going up to him for a selfie in the hope that he might ask if I was a Liverpool fan , only for me to reply "no, but if you hadn't fouled John O'Hare to gain Forest a penalty we might not have won the League Cup back in 1978 !" Lol

Ha ha . You should have done. He might have appreciated it. Or perhaps not! Who knows. When I looked closely at the advert I realised that was a little troop of pundits and presenters so I figured it must be Phil Thompson and he must be one too. I don't see Sky Sports at all, partly because of cost, partly because of an aversion to Rupert Murdoch. Although I think that is an impressive and clever little advert. I last saw Nottingham Forest play in the European Cup at Anfield in 1979. It was 0-0 but was a rather more useful result for you than it was for us. Almost 40 years ago!

I don't subscribe to Sky either but I'm perfectly happy to take their money haha.Ahhh the first round of the 1979 European Cup brings back happy memories of an all too brief few years for Forest fans ! English teams really were unstoppable in Europe late 70s/ early 80s
